A new Chick-fil-A restaurant opened Thursday in the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City.

The 1,180-square-foot restaurant at 630 Old Country Road, is owned by Joe Hawkins, a former hospital executive who also served as a director of training and human resources at a Chick-fil-A in Charleston, S.C. before becoming one of the chain’s franchisees. The Roosevelt Field Chick-fil-A is the chain’s fourth to open on Long Island, following others in Commack, Port Jefferson Station and Hicksville.

“I am honored to bring Chick-fil-A to the top shopping destination in Long Island and to be able to serve the community both inside and outside of my restaurant,” Hawkins, who currently works for the Chick-fil-A Corporation, said in a written statement.

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A was founded in 1967 and now has more than 2,385 restaurants in 47 states and Washington, D.C. The company reported more than $9 billion in revenue in 2017.
